Thanks Ron. That is a thick platter. I would have expected the armboard to be a bit thicker. Do you know what kind of drive the table is? I don't see a belt. It looks like one could have three arms on that table and that the motor is hidden in the back. Without a cartridge, they must not have played any LPs. Arturo is also the US distributor for AirTight cartridges. I see the Transrotor tables use SME arms, or variants. I read that some AirTight cartridges were developed in part on SME arms. Perhaps Arturo has an opinion about 9" vs. 12" arms.

The Rondino uses what Transrotor calls FMD or Free Magnetic Drive whereby a completely enclosed module (located underneath the chassis) containing the motor driving a flywheel through a short belt is magnetically coupled to the platter, so there’s no physical contact between the drive mechanism and the platter.
